Overview
Very delicate and easy to peel, organic Gold Nugget mandarins have an intensely sweet and juicy flesh with a bit of citrus tang. These seedless fruits are so named for their golden color and pebbly skin. Gold Nugget mandarins look more like oranges and are as excellent for eating out of hand as they are for juicing or for making jam.
Each week we have limited availability of this variety of mandarins from a partner farm that shares our commitment to producing legendary fruits. These mandarins are Farmer Al approved and are at peak sweetness.
